The package comes with a geom called geom_cat
and 15 different PNG files of different popular meme cats to select. These cats are "nyancat"
(default), "bongo"
, "colonel"
, "grumpy"
, "hipster"
, "lil_bub"
, "maru"
, "mouth"
, "pop"
, "pop_close"
, "pusheen"
, "pusheen_pc"
, "toast"
, "venus"
and "shironeko"
. You can see all the cats in the image below.
You can create a scatter plot the same way as using geom_point
. Choose a cat with cat
argument and modify the desired arguments to create your plot.
You can also add a different cat based on groups. For that purpose you will need to pass the variable with the cat names to the cat
argument.
An interesting use case for ggcats
is creating animations. This is specially fun if you combine "pop"
and "pop_close"
cats as in the example below.
